Verification ManualIntroduction
‘This document is intended to use as a hand calculation reference for STAAD Foundation Advanced verification
problems. These verification problems files can be found under Example > Verification on the Start Page.
Each section in this manual represents either specific design code (e.g, AS3600-2001) or particular foundation
type (eg, Dead Man Anchor Guy Foundation).
At end of each hand calculation a comparison table between hand calculations and program results is provided
for various output parameters like bearing pressure, overturning and sliding factor of safety, shear force, etc.

Assuming 2.5 mx 2.5 m x 0.400 m footing dimension,
Weight of footing = 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.400 x 25 KN = 62.5 kN
Weight of pedestal = 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.8 x 25 KN = 3.2 kN
Weight of above soil = (2.5 x 2.5 - 0.4 x 0.4) x 0.500 x 18 KN = 54.81 kN
‘Load from surcharge = (2.5 x 2.5 - 0.4 x 0.4) x 10 kN = 60.9 kN
Reduction of Weight due to buoyancy = 0 kN
Therefore, total load on the footing, Pl = (450 + 62.5 + 54.81 + 60.9 + 3.2) KN = 631.41 kN
